Lillard is excited about being slashed! The agent calls it an excellent opportunity, and the Heat Trail Blazers become the most likely next home

On July 2, the NBA entered the offseason. According to famous reporter Shams, the Bucks announced the waiver Damian Lillard. According to Lillard's agent, Lillard is excited about being cut, and the Heat are the most likely to be his next home, and it is also possible to return to the Trail Blazers.

Lillard suffered a torn Achilles tendon in April this year, and averaged 24.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1.2 steals last season. In the first round of this year's playoffs, Lillard suffered a torn Achilles tendon with a left leg and underwent repair surgery for a torn Achilles tendon on May 3. Shams reported at the time that Lillard could return during the 2025-26 playoffs and would take about 8-10 months to recover. The news that Lillard was laid off is undoubtedly shocking, but according to TA reporter Sam Amick, the league source revealed that Lillard was very excited about the decision. (League sources say Lillard is elated with this decision) Because this puts him in a unique position with absolute priority for basketball – few All-Star players in NBA history have enjoyed such initiative. In short, he will be able to join a championship team of his choice in the near future or next summer, with little financial considerations to be considered.

Trail Blazers reporter Aaron J. Fentress forwarded Lillard's agent Aaron Goodwin's opinion: "This is a great opportunity for Lillard. He can both get full guaranteed salary and choose his next stop as a complete free agent. If he chooses to recover in his hometown, he can accompany his family and children in the next year. Our core demand is to let him calmly decide the next chapter of his career. "

Then famous reporter Chris Hayes talked about Lillard's potential next player: "The first thing to pay attention to for Lillard's team is the Heat. When Lillard applied for a deal with the Trail Blazers, they wanted to pursue Lillard. The second team is the Trail Blazers, and they may reunite with Lillard."
